I must to write this, because that text is not correct and it will be unfair if I do not comment it. The part of this text (½- It's still a good car for smaller families and people who loves Italian cars from the seventies.½) is incorrect because it is not a Italian car. Zastava 101 is a Yugoslavian car, manufactured in Serbia.

Yugo is the type of car from witch everyone can gain benefit. With our dear Yugo welders, automehanics and car electricians can never stay out of work and happy owners can never have peace of mind. Welldone Zastava welldone Italians.

Zastava 101 is often overrated in exYu countries, as everything else that was produced in exYu. Though, some cars deserve the fame as being "good", the zastava does not, although it was most encountered car on exYu roads. In 70s it was a entry level vehicle built on a fiat platform. Today, it is a nostalgic oldtimer.

Well, my dad was born in Yugoslavia, and now since the war has obviously broke it apart, it's called bosnia. And I am 9 years old and I love cars, but I don't get why some of you say that these cars were built in like the 70s and the 80s. I think that these machines were grateful back then.

I still drive Z101 confort from 1979. The car is in perfect condition, with 90% original parts, and original engine and gearbox. Engine compression is still 9.5:1 after 172.096 km, and all mechanical things are O.K! I'm very satisfied with gearbox and sound of the engine.

I also drive an OPEL KADETT from 1991, and this car is very problematic. After seven years I must buy a new engine, and 50% of the other mechanical things. Plastic in the Zastava is not very good, but in the KADETT it's terrible!

Zastava's engine and sporty feeling make this car better than Opel, which is a car for old people!
